"La Baccante" Rendition
This original oil painting captures the serene and powerful presence of the bacchante—a priestess of the Greek god Bacchus—reimagined from Jean-Léon Gérôme's classical work. Painted in oils on a 30" x 30" canvas, the piece has a layered, textural quality that gives the figure a soft, lifelike presence.
The Story Behind It:
After falling in love with the original painting through my reading of Ovid's "Metamorphoses," I was inspired to create my own rendition, honoring the mythological themes that I admire. This piece is a tribute to both Gérôme’s mastery and the timeless stories of Greek mythology.Details:
Medium: Oil on stretched canvas (30" x 30").
Finish: Varnished for protection and color richness.
Includes: A digital link to the creation video.
